What is Truth In Jazz?

Truth in Jazz is an 18 piece big band formed in 1998 by Truth Publisher David Ogle with help of Steve Pettit and under the direction of Gay Burton.

Auditions were held and from a vast number of talented musicians in the Elkhart County area the band was formed. The band’s form is based on what has become the standard of big band instrumentation: that developed by the great Count Basie: 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones, 5 saxes, Bass, Piano, Guitar and Drums.
TiJ continues in that tradition and adds new and fresh arrangements based on big band jazz standards.
